The full song of "The Perfect Drug", written by Trent Reznor. The video has been altered to fit the full version of Reznor's song "The Perfect Drug". I take no credit for the song or video.

"The Perfect Drug" is a 1997 song by Nine Inch Nails. It was written for the David Lynch film Lost Highway and originally appeared on the Lost Highway soundtrack. Remixes of the song were released in an EP, "The Perfect Drug" Versions (also known as Halo 11).

The music video was directed by Mark Romanek and released on January 18, 1997. It portrays a despairing father played by Reznor who mourns a dead child in his gothic estate, losing himself in the consumption of absinthe. The theme was inspired by the art of Edward Gorey. It also references The Gashlycrumb Tinies. Other references include Gustav Klimt's painting The Kiss (1907 - 1908) and a "Scanning Machine" designed by Frenchman François Willème in 1860.

Charlie Clouser, Danny Lohner, and Chris Vrenna appear in the video, most notably playing string instruments at the beginning of the video.

Joanne Gair's work with Nine Inch Nails on "The Perfect Drug" won her the makeup portion of the best hair/makeup in a music video at the Music Video Production Awards.

Despite being a single, "The Perfect Drug" has never been performed live. On the official NIN website, "Sara" asked whether this is because "the drum solo would make Jerome's arms fall off." Then-drummer Jerome Dillon replied that they "never rule out the possibility of playing any of the songs live."

On April 6, 2005, despite its fast-moving worldwide success, while presenting the late-night BBC Radio 1 Rock Show in the UK, Trent Reznor stated that "The Perfect Drug" was his least favorite creation. His reasons were the short production time and the "overblown" video.

@Lluminari haha, what didn't you like?

[Lluminari]

@ktrel54 It needs more work. Dave Grohl's and Trent Reznor's first albums were amazing. They did everything themselves and it was something awesome.

I really don't know what the kid was trying to portray, or what he was even singing, but I give him credit for trying. I can only play drums. Hopping onto bass, guitar and singing is something I can't do.

Just needs to find his stride.

@jackdog50ed According to Wikipedia, this song is actually one of many that uses the Amen break that was popularized by Gregory Coleman in 1969. The Amen break has been used in various genres of music since the 1980s.

[jackdog50ed]

wikipedia cites this song as a use of the amen 4 bar sample used in many ganster rap songs. anyone care to comment.
